Digital Journal:

Scribd.com, a popular document-sharing website, is allowing authors to sell their works in digital format through their store. Authors can earn 80 per cent of the posted sale price.

Starting Monday, Scribd.com will let authors sell their books in PDF format via their store link here. Authors can upload their book and sell the books either with or without DRM rights.

Authors publishing books in hard books usually get 10 to 20 percent of the book price, whereas at Scribd.com store authors get 80 percent of the sale price. The pricing is similar to iTunes App Store, where the authors get 70 percent of the sales.

Authors can upload their books and convert the PDF into either secured or unsecured versions. If you want to read the eBook in Amazon Kindle, it has to be in unsecured version.
